FFS stop golifying achieving things young

FFS please stop golifying achievements at a young age. Not everyones fuckin privileged to do things at a certain age. If you achieve something. Just mention that and shut up. You don't have to mention your age. Just because you completed your masters or professional degree at 20 or bought your first big thing at 22 doesn't mean shit.

While I understand that achieving success at a young age is great, it doesn't have to become your identity or a marketing campaign. You don't need to constantly make posts or reels highlighting how young you were when you achieved something. Celebrate your work, not your age. Keep the focus on the value you've created rather than the timeline. Your achievements should inspire others, not make them feel like they're running out of time.

Let people take their time and grow at their own pace. This isn't a race.

When speed is glorified, it often becomes the benchmark for everyone else. Corporates begin to celebrate those exceptions as the standard, creating unrealistic expectations for others. An achievement that raises the bar so high that it hinders the growth and well-being of others isn't something we should be celebrating without questioning its broader impact.
